I was let happy with my slightly over 13 minute time today.

#CluesBySam - Jul 30th 2026 (Tricky)

I think the fastest I’ve ever solved one, a very easy one, was barely under 4 minutes. It takes me nearly that long to read all the clues and track which person is which.

If you click on a clue, which admittedly marks it as used, it highlights the relevant people. So I always click clues twice when they come up, once to quickly find the relevant people, once to make the clue active again.

Huh, i knew it highlighted professions. I didn’t realize it highlighted whatever was indicated. I’ll have to try that. When it says something about doctors and mechanics, i always click the clue repeatedly to make the relevant professions blink.

Not my best work, I shouldn’t do late week puzzles when both sleep deprived and pre-coffee.
